The second season reimbursement of No. 2 pick Bogut in 2005 has caused a lot of heated discussions in the league.

Especially since Bogut's two season reimbursement was against the team coached by Luke. In addition, Luke's usual style in the league, this matter has attracted much attention from the outside world.

Many fans are discussing whether Luke and Bogut have any grudges in private, otherwise why Bogut was so unlucky and was always reimbursed in the season in the game against Luke.

Although the referee determined that the injury was an accident, Bogut accidentally stepped on Gerald Wallace's instep when he landed, which caused his ankle to twist 90 degrees and was reimbursed in advance for the season.

But the two coincidences were put together to make it difficult for fans to believe that this was really just an accident, and the Grizzlies' methods against Bogut in the first quarter were also very obvious.

Otherwise, with Bogut's offensive level this season, the Grizzlies don't have to double-team Bogut and allow Michael Reed and Mo Williams to attack. This defensive strategy seems to be a target no matter how you look at it.

It is worth mentioning that the team's head coach Koviak was only regretful after the game, but did not show any anger or doubts about Bogut's accidental injury.

Some reporters even found that after losing, Koviak's face was still excited, as if this loss and loss of the game not only did not make Koviak feel depressed, but also made Koviak very satisfied, which really confused the reporters on the scene.

As for Bucks general manager John Hammond, still has the same hot temper. After Bogut was injured, Hammond immediately accused Luke of his evil deeds to the media.

He bluntly stated that he wanted to apply to the league to appeal and asked for a speech against Bogut's injury this time.

This is the second time Hammond has blatantly blasted Luke online, and the last time was also after Bogut's season reimbursement.

Although Bogut has not made much progress in the past two years, as a player who finally won the No. 1 pick, Bogut is still given a lot of high expectations by the Bucks' management.

Even though the Bucks management has become less and less patient with Bogut this season, Bogut still has the title of No. 1 pick on his head. Even if Bogut cannot bear the heavy responsibility of leading the team to revive, the management can trade it in exchange for some valuable chips.

But now Bogut's second season reimbursement in his career has undoubtedly made Bogut's career prospects worse and worse.

Next season will be the last year of Bogut's rookie contract. Bogut is like this now. Even if the Bucks management wants to trade it out this summer, it may be difficult to get too generous chips.

For Hammond, whose position as general manager is shaky, Luke is simply a bad star!

However, Luke did not take Hammond's excitement to heart. Last time, Hammond publicly stated that he would apply to the league to appeal and asked Luke to give the Bucks an explanation, but after a while, it was finally left alone.

As a business league, the NBA always puts interests first. Although Luke has caused trouble in recent years, the benefits created for the league are still unmatched by others.

Bogut's injury was even the referee on the scene was judged as an accident. No matter how fierce the Bucks management made a fuss afterwards, the league would only find ways to pretend to be crazy and pretend that he had not seen the accusation rights of Hammond.

Milvon is basically not a big football market. The Bucks have not created much wealth in the past two years. Now even guaranteed capital is a luxury.

Stern knew very well how to solve some things, especially since he had reached a transfer agreement with Luke in private and had several conversations, as long as Luke's behavior did not arouse public anger, Stern was willing to turn a blind eye.

After all, in addition to being a troublemaker, Luke is also a new generation of money tree in the league.

After defeating the Bucks, the Grizzlies ended their February schedule. So far, the Grizzlies' record of 46 wins and 12 losses is still ranked first in the league, leading the Celtics, which ranks second in the league by 2.5 wins.

The difference between the Lakers, who ranked second in the Western Conference behind him, was even widened to 4.5 wins.

The Grizzlies have a clear advantage in record performance. With only the last 24 games left in the season, as long as the Grizzlies play steadily, it will not be difficult to end the season as the top in the league.

The Grizzlies' results have surprised fans. After all, before the start of the season, no one expected that the Grizzlies, who ranked last in the league last season, could become the No. 1 in the league.

Many fans are thinking hard about what kind of magic Luke has that can make a team in the worst in the league turn into the strongest team in the league in just one summer.

Looking at the entire history, there are many coaches with excellent coaching skills, but a magical coach like Luke is definitely the first time that fans have witnessed it.

The US media even published an article on this, which stated that Luke’s best part is not coaching ability, but the construction of the team and the training of players.

According to big data statistics, no player selected by Luke in the draft has been lost. Whether in the first or second round, he has performed well after entering the league.

And Luke has won players who cannot play on other teams more than once, and has trained them to become an excellent rotation player, or even an All-Star player.

Luke's charm not only makes fans curious, but even the experts in the basketball section also look admiring.

After entering the league, Luke has made more than ten transactions in total, and in these transactions, each team has also gained a little advantage from Luke.

But in the end, Luke proved to people with facts that other teams may make a fortune, but Luke will never lose!

In March, as the season is about to end, except for the teams that were planning to play badly before the start of the season, each team has shown all their strength, and strives to win more games no matter who the opponent is.

Throughout March, Luke arranged his resumptions in an orderly manner, and main players such as Kevin Martin, Paul Gasol, and Gerald Wallace received double the rest.

Although Luke values ​​regular season results, without significantly weakening the team's strength, the health of players is definitely Luke's most concerned issue.

The Grizzlies, who are short of major generals in every game, have also been questioned a lot.

Some people question that not all players on the injury list were injured, and Luke's method of taking turns violates the league's health regulations. I hope the league can impose sanctions on the Grizzlies.

However, before the outside world could pay attention to this matter, the Grizzlies staged a 27-point massacre in the game against the Lakers in late March.

All the Grizzlies played in this game, and they were all firepower against the Lakers. In the words of Luke before the game, if they didn't beat the Lakers with more than 20 points, they would be sorry for the fans who watched the game at home.

Especially Paul Gasol was simply in the inside line. Facing the rotational defense of Okafor and Gotat, Gasol brought the basic skills of European players to the extreme.

With back hit, mid-range shot, face frame, support, Gasol seemed to vent all the frustrations of the All-Stars in this game.

The data of 38 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks not only played the best game of the season, but also pressed the Lakers' double towers to the ground and stomped on the ground, making "Zen Master" Jackson sit on the sidelines and faces black all over the whole time. Looking at Paul Gasol, who should belong to him, was simply angry.

As Gasol performed better on the court, Jackson became more gritted at Luke.

If Luke did not join the Grizzlies in the summer, if West was not cleared out of management by Luke, Jackson had thought of these assumptions more than once, and the final result was Paul Gasol naturally joined the Lakers, forming an iron triangle with Kobe and Odom.

Especially Paul Gasol's style of playing is very suitable for triangle offense, and his excellent support and sharing of balls are the best candidates to play around Kobe.

But what Jackson can do now is to watch Paul Gasol destroy the inside double towers he carefully created.

A 27-point massacre not only made Lakers so angry, but also made Jackson depressed.

The regular season is about to end, and the Lakers are currently ranked second in the West after the Grizzlies in the West, which is definitely a strong contender for the championship.

As a result, the Lakers were slaughtered away, a game where the Grizzlies were hung up.

Even though Paul Gasol's touch was too hot, Kobe was also defended by the Grizzlies in this game, resulting in only 7 of 23 shots in his personal offense, which made him feel cold.

But no matter what the factors are, it is an indisputable fact that the Lakers lose to the Grizzlies twice this season. Once they meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs with this mood, the Lakers are likely to be in danger.

Even if Kobe's desire to win is too strong, he cannot resist the help provided by his teammates around him.

Jackson didn't know when he would have the chance to attack the tenth championship in his career, but now the word Luke has become Jackson's nightmare.

With 17 years of coaching career, Jackson has never been as scared about the upcoming playoffs as this year.

If possible, Jackson wishes he was coaching an Eastern team, so that at least Luke's face would not appear frequently in Jackson's mind before the finals came.

Unfortunately, if the Lakers want to win the championship, Luke is the mountain that must be crossed. Even if Jackson is already beginning to be discouraged, he must pretend to be confident in front of the players to avoid spreading fear to the players.

As time goes by April, the Grizzlies have only the last nine games left, one step away from the end of the season.

The Grizzlies' first opponent in April was the Detroit Pistons, which ranked second in the East and fourth in the league.

This season, the Pistons head coach is still the old Sanders who leads the team home to fish every year.

No one knows why the Pistons management can tolerate the existence of Old Sanders. Since taking over Larry Brown's stall, Old Sanders has not only failed to lead the Pistons to become better, but has also made the Pistons worse and worse.

Even if Sanders looks at the entire league, he is an excellent basketball coach. However, in the city of Detroit, Sanders' reputation is extremely poor.

Especially when Old Sanders just left the Timberwolves, Luke turned the Timberwolves into a dynasty team. This matter is definitely a stain on Old Sanders' lifelong life.

The Pistons management's unchanging approach has made Detroit fans very dissatisfied, because it is not only the coach who has remained unchanged, but also the lineup that has been using since 2004.

Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Rashid Wallace, McDyce...

Except for Da Ben who left the team, the entire team has basically not changed compared to four years ago.

The Pistons, who were arrogant in the first two seasons, were unexpectedly eliminated by the Cavaliers led by LeBron James. From that time on, the Pistons were destined to have no way to survive.

In the words of commentator Charles Barkley, the Pistons were able to win a championship trophy that year with tacit tactical tactics and fierce defensive actions, but the times are changing, and various teams are also improving.

When the Pistons' tactical style has been thoroughly understood by other teams, the Pistons still do not seek changes, and this method is destined to be eliminated.

With tactical play that does not require any adjustment, the Pistons' regular season record this season is still good, but once they enter the playoffs, the Pistons have a high probability of having to go home and fish.

Fortunately, it has been more than a day or two since Old Sanders led the Piston home to fish. I believe everyone has been accustomed to it.

Poor Detroit fans squirt and scold Old Sanders every day after they get up, but until now the Pistons management has not done anything, and it can be said that they have done their own things to the extreme.

So far, although the Pistons rank second in the East and fourth in the league, the Pistons are only ranked eighth on this list in the championship prediction list released by ESPN.

The Cavaliers and Hornets behind them were all ahead of the Pistons with better record. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that the unchanging Pistons had long been kicked out of the championship, and even ESPN was no longer optimistic that Sanders could lead the team to turn the tide.

Luke's sudden rise has caused many doubts in the past two years. Even before Luke took over the team, Sanders had led the Timberwolves to the top score in the Western Conference, but the height Luke brought the Timberwolves to was too high.

In addition, Old Sanders coached the Pistons in a mess, Old Sanders is now on the verge of being dismissed.

This season is the last chance the Pistons management has given Sanders the last chance to Old Sanders. If Sanders still cannot lead the Pistons back to the finals stage, then Old Sanders' coaching career will basically end.

After all, Sanders' unchanged experience and the experience of bringing the Pistons worse and worse are really an indelible stain in his coaching career.

No championship team is willing to hire Sanders, a coach who has proved himself to be a failure twice in a row.

No reconstruction team is willing to hire an unchanging coach like Sanders.

The bad career twist made Old Sanders put all his resentment on Luke.

If it weren't for Luke's sudden appearance, Old Sanders felt that he would have been doing well, rather than being like a mouse crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat him like now.

So when fighting against the team coached by Luke, Old Sanders will try his best to try to prove to the outside world that he is just bad luck.

Unfortunately, since coaching the Pistons, Sanders has never won a fight with Luke, and even losing a single digit score is a luxury.
